BEST SHEPPARD MOMENT

Back From the Future. Trapped in the future with a hologram of McKay, Sheppard fights his way through a sand storm and returns to his own time with the information to find Teyla.

A nomadic group of humans led by the cunning Larrin, the Travelers have managed to hold on to their advanced technology by staying one step ahead of the Wraith. Though always looking out for their own best interests, they were later convinced to join Atlantis against the Replicators.

The Wraith-human hybrid Michael upped the ante when he returned in Season Four, kidnapping Teyla to use her unborn baby for his own evil scheme: creating a race of hybrids who follow him, and eliminating his own need to feed.

Engineered by Rodney McKay using the original Ancient technology that created the Replicators, Fran — a “Friendly Replicator Android” — was made to destroy her own kind. She was able to attract all Replicator nanites to herself, creating a massive ball that destroyed the enemy’s homeworld.

When John Sheppard met the Replicators we finally learned where Ronon had acquired his theretofore unique weapon. The weapons carried by Travelers shoot rapid energy pulses, and can be set to stun or kill.

With Ronon in need of some advice on how to deal with his Earth evaluation, Colonel Carter summons her old Jaffa friend. Though Ronon initially rebuffs him, the two must team up to defeat a Wraith attack on the Midway Space Station and directly on Earth itself.

After he was killed off in Season Three fans were shocked to see Carson Beckett return in the flesh, as actor Paul McGillion returned to the show as a guest star. Michael had made his own Carson clone, and the good doctor’s friends were quick to treat him like their own friend back from the dead.

The epic pay-off of the previous year and a half, this incredible hour brought Atlantis, the Wraith, and the Travelers together to attack the Replicator homeworld directly. To stop their common enemy from destroying the galaxy Dr. McKay created Fran, a “friendly” Replicator who would be used against her own kind.
